By reading our previous article, you have understood that most businesses are using offshore outsourcing to cut down their expenses, improve production and efficiency.

So, to help you understand more about outsourcing. We have written an article on Build-Operate-Transfer outsourcing.

This method is commonly used in the IT sector and is known as an Onsite- Offshore Development center (ODC).

In this model, a local company sets up an exclusive team, facility and IP protected environment for a client. At the end of 3-5 years, at pre agreed terms, the client purchases the ODC. By keeping 20-30% of the staff in the Onsite, Global IT companies have found that, this model de-risks infant mortality with no financial investment. At the end of 3-5 years, they buy into a readymade operation while leaving the learning curve behind!

Here how it works:

Build:

This phase involves setting up of an operation unit which includes everything from selecting buildings, installing infrastructures such as the internet and IT devices, employing staff and putting in place the administration and legal framework.

Operate:

This phase manages the offshore project which includes program management, development, maintenance, enhancements and product support.

Transfer:

In this phase, project ownership is finally transferred to the client, but only when the client is fully ready to control the project or when the contract expires.It includes new offshore subsidiary for the customer, transfer assets, and handover operation.
